LD136 - Arsenic & Old Lace (1944)

Things aren’t quite what they seem in the old childhood home of recently married ace reporter Mortimer Brewster’s (Cary Grant) old house over in Brooklyn.  It turns out that his sweet spinster aunts have been poisoning lonely old men and burying them in the basement.  Frank Capra’s cherished adaptation of the hit stage comedy set the tenor for the ghoulish/cute aesthetic that rings so true with secret goths, like our birthday boy Mike.  Happy birthday Mike!  And enjoy this piece of cake that I made especially for you…

If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).
